I know i need saves
any other thoughts

[chichpsalm]

you need saves! just kidding.

I think your other priorities should be

1.) replacing Alou and Burnitz
2.) finding a backup for Choi if he doesn't work out (Karros?)

That's really about it. Your SP is solid, as is C, 2B, 3B, SS, RF, and CF.

Thanks chichpsalm..

Some more thoughts....

3.) Are your middle relievers going to be worth anything? Unless Holds count for points, it may not be worth HOLDing on to them. Look for cheap talent on the waiver wire like Josh Fogg, Kip Wells, Brandon Larson, Dave Roberts, Reggie Sanders, etc. etc.

Considering your league is 10 teams NL only, I think you look pretty good.

i think it is a great team for 10 team NL only. but u do need to do something about kearns until he comes back. i heard that his injury looks rather serious. might want to find someone to replace him pretty quick.

Luckily for us Reds fans the sources I read says Kearns' injury ain't too bad.

Im rooting for the cubbies myself but as far as your team goes, you have a lot of concerns in your outfield. Burnitz is a bust, Payton is risky, despite being in Coors, and Alou may be past his prime. I'd look at getting some more reliable, proven players in your outfield
